Google to drop Chrome apps platform from everywhere except Chrome OS

According to Google, this substantial change will have an effect on approximately one percent of Google Chrome users on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Google has decided to kill off Chrome apps almost everywhere. However, one doesn’t need to panic as Google is not killing its Chrome web browser. Instead of that, Google is discontinuing its Chrome apps platform from everywhere with the exception of Chrome OS.

According to Google, this substantial change will have an effect on approximately one percent of Google Chrome users on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Back in 2013, Google launched Chrome Apps. These were apps put together with the help web technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. However, they operated outside of the Google Chrome browser.

Hence, if were ever positive about switching apps on your computer, you would have usually seen something like i.e. Google Hangouts separate from your browser.

Google recommends developers move their Chrome apps to the web since web technologies have matured enough over the period.
